(a) Medical, psychological, or psychiatric examinations
may be paid for by:
(1) Families who are willing to pay or to use family
insurance;
(2) Local resources that make examinations available
without cost; or
(3) Local funds.
(b) Medicaid may also pay for medical examinations
when the child is eligible and has medical problems or injuries that
require examination or treatment.
(c) If no other resources are available, we may directly
purchase medical examinations of children during investigations of
abuse and neglect as long as purchased medical examinations are performed
by a licensed physician or dentist.
